Guinness Touches Soft Spot With New Ad

In today’s society, it seems as if every time we flip through the television there is nothing but ludicrous and absurd commercials being aired. However, Guinness, a popular Irish dry stout and one of the most successful beer brands worldwide, recently premiered a new commercial eluding stereotypes overshadowing most advertisements of its genre.

According to Mashable’s Todd Wasserman, the commercial is receiving much praise for a clever, touching twist. The ad has appeared on the front page of Reddit under the heading “One of the best alcohol commercials in a while.” Another respectable accolade includes receiving over 60,000 views since its release date, Sept. 3.

We at PMBC Group, a Los Angeles Lifestyle PR Firm, can respect the message being sent behind the ad: “dedication, loyalty, friendship…the choices we make reveal the true nature of our character.”
